Alvin,

Thank you for organizing this run. It was great to see old friends and make new friends (I think that's what makes these drives so fun). I'm sorry I had to leave early but I had something scheduled for the afternoon.

I'm looking forward to the next run.

[Alvin]

Ken,
Thanks for coming and indulging my Datsun-dorkiness...wait till you see the videos of your car

Alvin, Ken, Fred, and Dave, great to meet up with you today and I had a blast driving thru the twisties. Next time I'll try and make it all the way.

Today's fun run was a blast!
We had 5 roadsters, a Miata, a 350z, and a RHD 510 show up!
The weather was great and we got some good stretches of traffic-free twisties.
Thank you so much for making the trip out everyone! It was good to see old friends and familiar faces.





Fred and Annie's '66 SPL/U20:

Dave an Karen's 67.5 SRL

Mark's '66/U20ET

Our '67.5 SPL/SR20

An L13-powered RHD 510, I have never seen this engine!


Ken Pletch's DATSTER:
It has a SUPERCHARGED KA24DE...it is WICKED. You have got to hear the blower whine. It is scary.

Wow thanks to Alvin for putting together this fun run, Karen and I had a great time and I also just got to say that the sound of Ken's engine climbing up the rpm range was a fantastic! I look forward to another fun run soon we have alot of good weather left for great drives. Dave

Here is another video of Ken's supercharged roadster, a bit longer than Alvin's clip. Alvin was closer and got a great recording of the sound. Awesome!

I almost cried seeing you guys again, it's been a few years since I've been on a run! Annie and I really had a great time. Many thanks, Alvin, for organizing this and leading the blast thru the hills.

Fred

[Alvin]

I share Fred's sentiments: Great seeing you all, it was one of those memorable rides!
Mark, thanks for bringing your turbocharged beast!

I thought about doing a fun every 2 months...let all of the Bay Area owners choose a favorite route up in their neck of the woods. We could sticky it maybe? thought?

[datsunrides]

I'm already scouting some roads down here. Hwy 25 get pretty twisty just south of here. And of course if you guys travel down this way, the least I could do is provide a BBQ at the end of the ride!

[Alvin]

in for BBQ
oh, and some driving too
